Khamzat Chimaev was positive for COVID-19

Representative Khamzat Chimaev confirmed that “Gray Wolf” needs to recover from COVID-19 infection, at the same time, Leon Edwards is also urging other opponents to go to the radio.

Khamzat Chimaev vs. Leon Edward is one of the 3 most anticipated battles in January coming with Holloway vs. Holloway. Kattar and Poirier vs. McGregor 2. Yet last night, this matchup continued to be canceled for the second time without knowing the reason.

Not long after that, Combate magazine had information that Khamzat was positive for COVID-19. The manager of the Chechen original puncher also confirmed, “Gray wolf” requires post-COVID pulmonary rehabilitation time.

On the side of Leon Edward, the Jamaican-born puncher sent a question, promising to confront his colleague in the future. But at the same time, he still wanted to continue the fight at Fight Island 8.

After that incident, the UFC immediately proposed an alternative to Kevin Holland vs. Kevin Holland. Derek Brunson with no less charm. However, Leon still wished to continue fighting and he called out the name of a fighter in Welterweight 4th place – Jorge “Gamebred” Masidal.

Leon Edwards immediately asked Jorge Masvidal to respond to the challenge

This is a very sensible battle to take place at the moment. Third place puncher Leon Edward has had many consecutive victories in recent years and is one of the candidates targeting the championship belt, while Jorge Masvidal – who is ranked 4th is a boxer with enough reputation. is attractive and currently holds the BMF belt.

Not only that, in early 2019, Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal once fought each other after the UFC London event, this is also the reason why the British boxer wanted to count with his attacker.

Recently, though, “Gamebird” has been very quiet. Before the call from Stephen Thompson or even a few “kick” from Colby Covington in the past, Jorge Masvidal still has not had an official statement for his upcoming match, so with a surprise call for a vacant position, do you notice it?

How the main battle of UFC Fight Night 185 will take place is still a big question mark and let’s wait for the latest information from the boxers.

On the evening of November 28, Russian media reported that Khabib Nurmagomedov spent $ 1 million to buy the MMA Gorilla Fighting Championship, becoming the new boss of this tournament.

Before that, Gorilla Fighting Championship was known as a tournament where the emerging talent of Russian MMA flourished. In which, two cousins, Usman and Umar Nurmagomedov, are also honored at this tournament.

Soon after, sources said that at the end of the final chain of events in 2020, the tournament would be renamed the Eagle Fighting Championship – inspired by Khabib’s nickname “The Eagle” in the ring.

In particular, the most significant was the discussion with President Dana White about bringing EFC to UFC Fight Pass – the No. 1 fighting martial arts broadcasting system in the US.

Thus, with the above move, Khabib has officially joined the world of “boss” fighting martial arts world, along with former boxers such as Fedor Emelianenko, Ray Sefo owns his tournament. This is good news for Khabib, however, this reinforces his retirement announcement – something he has insisted on in recent times.

Khabib Nurmagomedov: ‘If UFC gave 100 million dollars, I will consider rematching Conor’

The unbelievable number given by Khabib further shows that the UFC light champion is no longer interested in previous defeats. During a press conference in Moscow on December 2, Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed his plans for the Eagle Fighting Championship (EFC) – which he recently acquired for $ 1 million.

Also, the issue of Khabib’s re-export at the UFC is a topic of particular concern when the lightweight UFC light division prepares to have important matches. However, “Eagle” proved quite indifferent to these developments.

Looking back at the weight change process of Conor McGregor (Part 2)

UFC 205: Launched and won the light belt 155lbs

At UFC 205 after finishing the rematch Nate Diaz, Conor officially launched the light-weight 155lbs with an unfinished goal from UFC 196. At this event, the audience saw the most “fit” Conor from the time they got on the scale to the stage. Not a bit of fat, no water cutting, no need to gain too much muscle, most people consider lightweight to be the best weight for you.

UFC 205 witnessed the perfect Conor at 155lbs

Defeating Eddie Alvarez from the second half, Conor McGregor officially wrote a new history as the first two-weighted champion in the UFC, opening the “Superfight” movement later.

Reaching the peak at the UFC was also when Conor made a walk through the Boxing floor, where he also took the stage with Floyd Mayweather at 154lbs, equivalent to his weight when ascending the throne.

UFC 229: The Great War 155lbs

With the noise created with Khabib, Conor continued to have the opportunity to compete with the defending champion after more than 1 year of absence. Although he returned to the forte level, both Conor’s body and ability to perform against Khabib were not equal to the previous match with Eddie Alvarez.

UFC 246: The first time reached 170lbs

Although at UFC 196 and UFC 202, Conor played as a Welterweight semi-mid-tier match, however, until UFC 246 met Donald Cerrone in early 2020, he officially reached 170lbs. This is also the time when the audience witnessed a massive Conor McGregor ever when stepping on the scale.

The audience will witness the third time Conor is present in this UFC weight division, however, the audience once again doubts that weight loss affects his ability to play. Because in the photos shared recently, the Irish puncher is still very muscular and has no signs of weight loss.

When Khabib announced his retirement, the Irish superstar is still considered to be able to dominate the lightest rank among the top fists. This is also the premise that brought him back to the glorious period when he was crowned four years ago, continuing with the blockbuster matches with other opponents.
